I can't get Safari or Firefox to open certain websites for me

I am an automotive technician, I have been trying to do some training classes online. The problem I have run into is, Safari comes up with a failure to communicate and if I use Firefox, I get the following message:
browserdetectjavaPassThrough.htm is a Hypertext.
What should firfix do with this file?
Then it asks if I want to open with ____(file) or save. I can't figure this one out. Anyone able to help?
Thanks,
Tim

Nothing happens when I try to boot up using the command+R keys.
Did you hold down those keys before booting and continue till you get to a selections window?  You should get this:
If you can't boot into the Recovery volume make an appointment with the nearest Apple Genius bar for a diagnosis.  You're still under warranty.

  • Cant get Safari or Firefox to open youtube website anyone else having this problem?

    I can't get safari or firefox to open youtube website, keeps saying server not available and it has been doing it for a month. Anyone having this problem?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    You can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue you can open Firefox in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?

    How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?
    Specifically, I would like it to remember my 14 digit library account on:  http://polaris.plano.gov/Polaris/logon.aspx
    Firefox on my old PC was able to do this no problem.  I have recently switched over to Apple.  Thanks for your help!
    FYI, I am on a new Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4.

    Some websites request the web browser to NOT autofill the username, password.  It is possible the library site is doing that. Your previous firefox on the PC may have been sufficiently old to not be able to handle such a request.  There are password managers you can get to over-ride such things (search Safari extensions).

  • Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding.

    Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding. However when I close Nunit, the page is back to be normal. The title is returned to the name of website without "not responding". I sure this problem did not happen on Firefox version 26. I just got this problem when firefox upgrading automatically to version 27. Please help me fix this problem because it is very important for my work. If you need more information pls send your concerns via my email address.
    Thanks so much

    Hi, the work around suggested above should put you in working mode in the meantime. However to help investigate the issue it is possible to analyze what is not loading or taking a long time by analyzing the network traffic or http headers of the Nunit web page.

  • Can't get access in Time Machine to certain folders for any date earlier than current date/time.

    Can't get access in Time Machine to certain folders for any date earlier than current date/time, even when entering as Admin. Why do certain folders have small red "-" badge in lower right corner of folder icon?  Here's a picture of the dilemma:
    I've tried monkeying with priveleges using Command I, and changing users, but to no avail.  Can anyone help?

    Right.  Here's what the permissions look like from the Finder Command I:
    I'm not sure what "Custom" means, but when I then try to change it to "Read & Write", it doesn't take.... just comes back as Custom. Interesting to note that not only am I logged into Joan's account where the data folder and file lives) to do this, but when I do it from my own account  as Admin (dunc...mpster) I get the same result.

  • I get sec_error_bad_signature when trying to open certain websites

    When i try to open certain websites, or log into secure adresses ( wttps ) i get sec_error_bad_signature.

    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":

    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Try to rename the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder to cert8.db.old or delete the cert8.db file to remove intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.
    If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file.
    Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previous intermediate certificates.
    Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.
    If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • How can I get Safari 5.1 to open without opening all the tabs that were open when i last quit safari?

    When I lauch Safari (5.1 in 10.7) I want it to open to either an empty page or a designated homepage - but istead it opens all the tabs that were open when I quit Safari.  How do i stop this, I cant find any preference to achieve this and see nothing in help.  Any help?

    Hi James - Thanks for the info!  This has been bugging me, too.  I'm going to uncheck the Restore Windows box.  Agree with you that it should be app specific, tho.  I like opening to the last page I was working on in pages and numbers.  Hope it doesn't change that!

  • Safari and Firefox crashing on certain websites

    I'm having a new problem with my eMac. When I try to access some websites (a banking website; Playhouse Disney website) both Safari & Firefox browsers crash. This is not happening with my MacBook. I've tried running Disk Repair and installing Applejack but nothing changed. I then went into Safari<preferences<security<web content and unchecked the java related boxes. After doing this, the banking website is allowing me access again but both browsers are still crashing on the PlayhouseDisney website. Is this some sort of java conflict? How can I resolve this?
    Please speak slowly and use small words, I was only able to do the above things by reading these boards!

    M - I'm having a problem getting kicked out of Safari on my banking website. I spoke to AppleCare this AM - they said there's no fix for 10.3.9, and I either need to use Internet Explorer, or upgrade to 10.4.

  • Safari will not open certain websites

    Aloha,
    I'm new to mac, and so far so good. The problem is that I can't get safari (or firefox) to open certain websites. The one that bugs me the most is https://www.navo.navy.mil/products/geo.htm . I use it to get weather information that is not available in more mainstream sites.
    It is a military product, and what I should get is three windows/frames/boxes that
    when you click one thing, it gives you options for the next box, which opens information that you want.
    This site works, in pc no problem (win98, win2000, XP, running firefox, ie or opera). Is there a work around to this problem? Is there another browser that will open this site up in mac?
    I've tried to find this information elsewhere to no avail. In my business it's essential information.
    Help please!
    Oh, and how do I find out what version os I'm running?
    Mahalo Chris

    Hi Chris,
    Welcome to Discussions.
    I'm not sure what the Navy site is supposed to look like, but it appears to load ok in both Safari 3.0.3 (public beta for OS X 10.4) and Camino 1.5.3. Here's a screenshot of what I see:
    I can't seem to access any data though as each search tells me the service is temporarily unavailable (is that expected?). What do you see when you try to enter this website?
    Oh, and how do I find out what version os I'm running?

    I have already disabled all the plug-ins but the problem is still here!!
    Thank you for helping me

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I just updated to Firefox 4.0.1. HELP!!! Can I get my old Firefox back?

    I use Mac OS 10.6.6 This Firefox does not work. Open two tabs, can't close the second, nor can I get back to the first. What do I do?
    Can I get my old Firefox back?

  • How can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

    how can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

    Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
    If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
